Can you explain why using only Medusa/Zserver is "very bad"?  I was under
the impression that the usual Apache approach simply delegates to the Zope
native webserver without doing much of anything except eating machine
cycles.  I always thought the Apache/Medusa combination was used to allow
for non-Zope stuff (cgi, etc) to work.
